Steven Gerrard Selling His Car On Auto Trader Website


Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool and England footballer, is selling his car on the Auto Trader website.

His decision to steer clear of glitzy showrooms and instead place an advertisement on the internet means any "ordinary" fan with £52,990 to spare could snap up a celebrity bargain.

Gerrard's 3.6 litre Range Rover Vogue boasts a host of extras and the number eight - the player's shirt number - hand-stitched into each of the leather armrests.

The 28-year-old Liverpool captain is thought to have paid £61,000 for the V8 diesel just over a year ago.

But he then spent another £22,000 on such extras as alloy wheels, a £1,880 DVD system and £700 wool rugs.

He and his wife, Alex Curran, 26, have clocked up nearly 20,000 miles in the car.

A club source said: "This is the dream car for any Liverpool fan. It's a collector's item."

The source added: "It's a snip compared to what he paid. I can't see it being on the market for too long."

Assuming he gets a buyer this will be the second Range Rover Gerrard has sold through Auto Trader.

Last year he posted his old Sport HST on the site, with an asking price of £46,490.

His previous cars have included a Bentley Continental GT, an Aston Martin Vanquish and a Ferrari.
